In fact, a guy from Philly came in for an interview today. He sees the Mets stuff in my office, and says "so you're a Mets fan". He goes on to say how he went to all 3 games over the weekend, and how great it was. Keep looking for a job, buddy.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('151965','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('151965','Rich','Steve, you\'re taking better than I am.

It's the smart move - thought EVERYONE's market value (Johan included) has deteriorated this year. Still, a smart, confident person would see that with so many teams in the hunt, it's a sellers' market for talent and the Mutts are in a great position to clean house and erase salary. But Somar won't do it. He is stupid and should not have the job in the first place. If not for the quota cops hounding MLB for more minorities in management, Somar would not have become the Montreal GM. He will not make any moves. The deRoulets will keep him because they have already eaten too many bad contracts. 2010 Mets: 70 - 92. 2011 Mets: 67 - 95.

It’s the smart move – thought EVERYONE’s market value (Johan included) has deteriorated this year.

Still, a smart, confident person would see that with so many teams in the hunt, it’s a sellers’ market for talent and the Mutts are in a great position to clean house and erase salary.

But Somar won’t do it. He is stupid and should not have the job in the first place. If not for the quota cops hounding MLB for more minorities in management, Somar would not have become the Montreal GM.

He will not make any moves. The deRoulets will keep him because they have already eaten too many bad contracts.

2010 Mets: 70 – 92.
2011 Mets: 67 – 95. Attendance: 2.3 million

But the idea of the "collapse" coming early (as you put in the post's title) certainly isn't a surprise to me. I've been expecting it all season - it follows a pattern of bad behavior in the franchise's history with this episode starting in October 2006. I'll elaborate the pattern of bad behavior on my blog soon.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('151953','dyhrdmet'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('151953','dyhrdmet','well, i\'m not convinced that the Mets will actually act as sellers in the trade market even though it may be the best thing to do.\r\n\r\nBut the idea of the \"collapse\" coming early (as you put in the post\'s title) certainly isn\'t a surprise to me.
